Deer Corn

6.99 a bag @ Gander Mt.

Is that a 40 or 50?About the cheapest I've found around here is $8.50 for a 50#.

40 # , which is all they had.Gander MT was 6.99 and Academy was 7.99 and they are right next door to each other- both only had 40 # bags.

WHAT THE ?? 2 weeks later -

I just paid 8.49 for a 40# bag of corn...this is getting out of hand !!!

I'm afraid to look at what it's going for around here..

Bud told me Sat. he paid 9 bucks a 50...

its 9.00 a 50# bag in Menard...all of this ethanol /gas ,plus no rain is gonna have a bag at 14.00 before season gets here.

And we worry about the lease prices...now its the feed cost that may drive us to hunt once a day....

I need a new job, or an additional job, but that's wouldn't leave much time for hunting.

Got a Question for you guys...What do you think about buying bags of peas like you would at the grocery store and mixing it in with the corn?

For the purpose of ??



I went back and turned my feeder down to 7 seconds, once in the morning and once at night.I aint feeding nothing but Coons right now anyways.I wish I had the hog problem you got Redog !!! I dont see hogs as a problem - I see them as part of my 60/40 sausage - I love me some hogs..

Hogs aint no problem ...We welcome them to the feeders, that's why we lease a place just for pig huntin.... I hear you can buy a mixture of peas and corn or maybe just peas in a 50lb bag.....I was just thinking maybe buying a few small bags, like 5 maybe and mixing them in the feeder with the corn for deer... They say the peas are a good protein.

At my Deer lease up in Brady Tx. we dont feed after deer season is over cause the landowner turn out his goats and sheep ....we start feeding oct. 1 ....feeders run 10sc. morning and eve....there so many deer there that the hunt would not last very long if we fed less..No hogs in our Brady area...

RD, I don't think the peas would be a benefit for you if you don't start feeding until October. Peas are a great source of protien. Protien is most beneficial (in Texas) from Feb - Aug for antler development. The does benefit most from Jan - October for fetal development and milk production. WATER would be beneficial as well. Here's a website I heard on Petersen's Bowhunting Podcast. They went into detail about what is needed and when for deer. http://www.huntrack1.com/

Makes me want to plant peas all along the barb wire fence around our hunting areas. Use the fence for the vines to grow on.. Would be useless to do that though, no rain in sight anytime soon.

I hear ya BMarshall. We need rain BAD.

Sorry guys been working the Vacation Bible School this week and getting home late...Thanks for the info there JR...that great!!... Sat. on a pig hunt i saw a buddy pull out a bag of peas and thats what got me thinkin ...Said some one gave him the peas and he for got them in the truck, in the heat for over a week.....

I just wish there was something we could do to relieve the drought stress on the animals......

Its so dry where Im at that you can fit your foot in the cracks in the ground !!!

Just got an e-mail from my landowner ....said they still have some green grass up there ...Come on rain!!!

Heck I feed year round, not cheap it was 8.40 and went up a buck last week had a friend of my said let me buy some bags, there in Charlotte it was 11.bucks a bag I told him forget it man to much end up with one,
other friend of mind that I take once in a while also drove up with 10 bags before he left to Afghanistan, even people that ask me for a hog bring me corn that helps big time.

10 bucks a bag in Mason at the Super S

6.99 a bag @ Gander Mt.

Haven't checked at where I normally get corn.... putting it off as long as I can...lol

That makes our venison pretty expensive meat!

One of the smaller ranches we do work for uses cotton seed to keep thier corn cost down. Only problem is it takes a little while for the deer to warm up to it,

and it wont throw out of a barrel feeder.

Gotta use a trough or I think a protien feeder works also.

The guy says after the first year the cost of setting everything up is paid for

and every year after that is pure savings!!

I dont understand, does the guy sell deer or something?
